Assembly:

At this point, these are the pieces your should have:

Now you can start to put things together. First, I attached the tummy:

Followed by the eye whites:

I then attached the beak and arms. For the pupils, I used a glue gun to attach small circles cut from a sheet of black felt. and tada, your penguin should be finished!

I hope you enjoyed this pattern, and I do plan to make a more detailed and realistic penguin in the future, but cute is good too ^_^

Honestly, none come to mind… I know I watched a few in order to learn myself, but I don’t really remember. I’d recommend just searching for videos on youtube until you find one that suits you. Were you looking to learn how to create your own patterns?

no I’m just a really visual person, but I’ve finally come across some time to do this and its actually coming out great! Its for a friend whose just as penguin obsessed as me! Thanks for the amazing pattern! Its easy, fast, and fun!

This is so cute… I will be doing one as soon as I finish my current projects… I like your blog, I will be visiting it in the future… If you wish to check on mine it is: http://yarn-over-hook.blogspot.com/
